Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that the strike was launched around 11:30 a.m. from the territory of Krasnoarmiisk, which is controlled by the Kiev regime. Accordingly, the decision to use Tochka-U missiles was taken by the command of the Ukrainian military grouping and confirmed by the leadership in Kiev.
The missile was equipped with a cluster warhead, which proves that the aim of the strike was to kill as many civilians as possible.
“The use of such weapons knowingly on civilians is a war crime”, – Konashenkov said.
The terrorist attack in the centre of Donetsk killed 20 civilians and seriously wounded 28 others.
“All this once again confirms the Nazi and anti-human essence of the ruling regime in Ukraine today”, – the Russian military representative said.
Mourning has been declared in the DNR tomorrow.
